About Cataract Surgery
Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed surgical procedure worldwide. The clouded natural lens is broken up using ultrasound energy (phacoemulsification) and removed through a tiny incision. A foldable intraocular lens (IOL) is then implanted. Modern premium IOLs include monofocal, multifocal, extended depth-of-focus (EDOF), and toric lenses for astigmatism correction. Premium IOLs can reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses after surgery. The procedure is highly safe with a success rate exceeding 98%.
